I get in the car, another tragic disaster.
But I'm safe where I am, yet another is captured.
The traffic is stopped, people just stare.
Another alert, does the kid have a prayer?
Life is not fair!

It's hard to look outside my door
With all the news reports and more.
Yet I will do my part and stay on alert
For all the kids out there who are getting hurt.
It could have happened to me,
Can you make me believe
This could have a happy end?
'Cause I am one of them.

I try to grow up, but I am chased by my fears.
It could happen to me, I worry in tears.
Reports on the girl, making me scared.
Led off to die and why was I spared?
Life is not fair!

It's hard to look outside my door
With all the news reports and more.
Yet I will do my part and stay on alert
For all the kids out there who are getting hurt.
It could have happened to me,
Can you make me believe
This could have a happy end?
'Cause I am one of them.

I am one of them, am one of them,
I am one of them, am one of them,
I am one of them, am one of them.
I wish I could bring back all of them.
